Reviewer: Pankaj Doharey - - November 14, 2022
Subject: Original Print and Info on GyanVapi.

The books british author noted that Gyan Vapi mosque was actually a Buddhist temple due to carvings, which was eventually used by Brahmins as their temple, which evenually was used as a mosque. Also Tilbhandeshwar Temple has an image similar to Buddha, in 2022 mch of this may be hidden behind Shivalinga half of which is buried below the cemented structure by Brahmins. Excellent scan but the sequence of the scanned pages is wrong at many places. A future genration may excavate these places to know the truth, which may never come to surface with Brahminist governments in power.
